Q: Why is this guy braking without any reason? A: Cause he's a special kind of idiot.

He keeps speeding up, then braking. He's worse than a crappy driver because he's completely inconsistent. The reason why there is so much space between him and me is because I can't predict what this idiot will do. Something is going on it that tin can up ahead.

For a long time I didn't see any problem with being on a cellphone and operating a car. The problem starts when some people get so much into yapping that they forget they're not on their couch but that they're actually driving. The trick here is to keep in your mind that driving is PRIMARY and the call is SECONDARY. However, this is a real cellphone problem I see all the time; people reversing or parallel parking on the phone. Look, it's really easy, you just say "Can you hold on a second? I just have to parallel park." then you PUT THE PHONE DOWN. It takes about 10 seconds and your friend or client will still be there, you paranoid nut. But anyhow that's not the real problem. When I pass this guy I see what's going on, he's on his phone but he's TEXTING. This is the reason why I now believe cellphones should be made illegal while driving. I see it all the time. As if driving in Vancouver isn't bad enough, there is no reason why you should be driving and typing at the same time. It's too complicated and just plain stupid, even if you're good at it.
